Thenjiwe McHarris: "We Are Done Watching Our People Die"
Clip: 6/8/2020 | 2m 42sVideo has Closed Captions
Thenjiwe, strategist for The Movement for Black Lives, discusses police violence.
The Minneapolis City Council is pledging to dismantle its police department, promising a shift towards community-based strategies instead. However, not everyone agrees with this approach – including the city’s mayor. As protests continue over George Floyd’s death, and as Congress proposes sweeping new legislation aimed at eliminating police brutality, is defunding the police really the answer?
